Here's an e-mail received from some kids over at Brooklyn Law School :
The BLSPI Auction Challenge
We are proud to announce the 1st BLSPI Auction Challenge where current BLS classes, faculty & staff, and BLS alumni go head-to-head to get the most donations for the 19th Annual BLSPI Auction. This year we want to once again surpass our goal and raise more than $75,000!
Every auction lot that is received by your group (i.e. BLS Alumni) will count as one point, and the group with the most points by March 20th, 2009 wins! Your group will be forever immortalized on the "BLSPI Auction Challenge" Plaque that will be displayed outside the BLSPI office for years to come and added to each year. If all of us get just one donation we are going to have a fabulous auction!
How to play:
(1) download a copy of the donation form from our website;
(2) E-mail or hand-out the donation form to your friends, family, and employers;
(3) Visit your favorite local area business (restaurants, boutiques, salons & spas, bars) and ask them for a donation;
(4) Donate something for little or no out-of-pocket cost like (i) teaching swimming lessons, (ii) baking a birthday cake, and (iii) allowing students, professors, or fellow alumni to use your summer or winter home for a weekend;
(5) Treat a group fellow alumni or students to a memorable networking experience by setting up a luncheon, a dinner or a sporting event with colleagues;
(6) Donate a set of your season tickets to a sporting event, tickets to a gala event in the city, or tickets to your favorite musical performance;
(7) Then e-mail us to arrange for the lots to be picked-up or sent and so we can list it in on our website.If you have any questions feel free to e-mail us. If you or your law firm is interested in making a monetary donation we have a variety of sponsorship packages found here . Click here for last year's sponsors. Remember, the more auction lots we have the more fun we'll all have the night of the auction! (so really, we all win!)
To learn more about BLSPI and the auction visit BLSPI's website or facebook page . Still stumped about what to give? Last year's auction lots are available here . No donation is too big or too small!
Good Luck!
